Corduroy

Corduroy is a Canadian animated children's TV series based on Don Freeman's 1968 children's book Corduroy and its 1978 follow-up A Pocket for Corduroy. It originally aired for one season on Canadian TVOKids and U.S. PBS Kids' Bookworm Bunch in 2000, before it got cancelled along with Elliot Moose. The show consists of 26 10-minute stories, which were broadcast in pairs as 13 21-minute episodes.

[In Corduroy and Buckaroo's imagination, they're both going on a snow ride in the North Pole. The two "preschool child aged" toys pretend it by using the dust pan in the linen closet.]

Buckaroo:
♪ Snowflakes ♪

♪ Riding through the snowflakes ♪

Corduroy:
Giddy up!

[Buckaroo keeps riding through the snow. Buckaroo is pretending to be one of the horses at the North Pole. He and Corduroy are in their imagination that they are in the North Pole. The scene then cuts back into reality. Back in reality, Lisa comes home and looks into the messy linen closet caused by Corduroy and Buckaroo who are still playing in it pretending to play in the snow with the linen things. Then she --offscreen-- catches them. The scene soon cuts to her from the door to the linen closet.]

Lisa:
[gasps] Corduroy, Buckaroo!

[Lisa finds them playing in the linen closet with the linen things.]

Lisa:
What a mess! What happened?

[Corduroy and Buckaroo stop playing. They then stare at Lisa and the mess with embarrassed smiles on their faces after what they were doing to the linen equipment to act out like they were at the North Pole.]

Corduroy and Buckaroo:
[trying to confess] Ummm…! Uh...!

Lisa:
[to Corduroy and Buckaroo about the mess they have made] (Well?) "Ummm…!", what? Come on, you two. Help me clean this up, (both of you).

[Lisa picks up a paper roll.]

Lisa:
Boy, (it looks like) someone is going to be in big trouble.

[When Lisa has said, "Someone is going to be in big trouble", it turns out that both Corduroy and Buckaroo are in trouble. Because they both indeed made the mess in the linen room.]

Lisa:
[looks in the closet and lists what has to be done as Corduroy and Buckaroo were playing with the linen things and caused the mess] Bath towels need refolding, the toilet paper needs rerolling.

[As Corduroy and Buckaroo are helping Lisa clean up the linen room as they've made the mess in the linen room, Buckaroo puts the towel back on the shelf and picks up the dust pan and hangs it back up. They also refold the bath towels, then reroll the toilet paper]

Buckaroo:
Tell Lisa that we made the mess.

Corduroy:
[is afraid to tell Lisa the truth] But she is going to get mad.

Buckaroo:
Ooh...! But we HAVE to tell her.

Lisa:
[putting the laundry soap into the laundry soap box] Come on, help me! Mom is going to be coming home any minute now.

Corduroy:
[whispers through Buckaroo's ear] What if we make up a story?

Buckaroo:
You mean lie? Oh, I don't know. That doesn't sound right.

Lisa:
Why did Kit not chase after Rosetta?

Corduroy:
Uh-oh.

[Rosetta --about the lie-- realizes she was tricked and blamed.]

Rosetta:
And what is this?! (None of this was Kit and I!) That cat, he NEVER chases me!

[Corduroy was lying when he said that Kit and Rosetta made the mess in the linen room even though it was him and Buckaroo. He and Buckaroo were playing in it, then he fibbed about it. Therefore, Rosetta is telling the truth; really it was not her. Lisa --on the other hand-- believes Rosetta when Rosetta says it was not her and Kit who made the mess. But she becomes concerned about Corduroy's lie.]

Lisa:
[confused] I don't get it. Corduroy told me. And...!

[Lisa looks at Corduroy. She knows that he was lying even though it was him and Buckaroo who made that mess in the linen room.]

Lisa:
[turns to Corduroy] Corduroy...?!

Corduroy:
[buries his face in his paws] I lied, Lisa! I did it. I messed up the closet!

Buckaroo:
I was there too.

Corduroy:
But it was my idea to lie, not Buckaroo's.

[It turns out that the only person who was telling the truth was Rosetta.]

Rosetta:
[to Lisa when she told her she was not in the linen room with Corduroy and Buckaroo] Well, I was not there (in the first place)! And I did not make any mess!

[Rosetta turns to Corduroy and Buckaroo after Corduroy lied about her making the mess and after she was tricked and blamed.]

Rosetta:
[to Corduroy] Shame on you!

[Rosetta wheels herself away. She was telling the truth. But she gets away with it because it wasn't her who made the mess. Corduroy buries his face in his paws again. Lisa walks to Corduroy who is feeling quite guilty.]

Lisa:
[takes Corduroy's paws off his eyes then has a word with Corduroy when he didn't tell the truth in the first place] Why didn't you tell me the truth when I asked?

[Soon Lisa comforts Corduroy.]

Corduroy:
[sadly] I was scared you'd get mad at me.

Lisa:
But you made me think it was all Kit's fault, and that wasn't right. Things get worse if you don't tell the truth.

Corduroy:
[apologizing to Lisa about the lie he told] I'm sorry, Lisa.

Lisa:
You must be saying sorry to Kit, not me.

[Corduroy and Rosetta gets the radio out of Lisa's bed]

Rosetta:
Voila! I told you there was a radio under there.

Corduroy:
Was it hiding, Rosetta?

Rosetta:
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Lisa must have forgotten it. But now we have found it, alors. [turns her back and then tries to turn on the radio] Oh. Oh! [shakes her head] Ahem. Corduroy? A winding, if you please.

[Corduroy picks up Rosetta and winds her up turning her wind up key. He puts Rosetta down --after winding up her key-- and Rosetta pushes a button on the radio and the orchestra music plays. Now Corduroy and Rosetta are dancing to the music. They are acting like dancers]

Corduroy:
[while dancing to the music] This must be a concert. I've always wanted to go to a concert.

[In Corduroy's imagination, Corduroy imagines that he and Rosetta are the music conductors. And Corduroy gives the orchestra band some wonderful music. A lady plays a tuba, Seven men plays the bass, A women and her husband plays the flute and a brown man plays the trumpet. Corduroy keeps playing some wonderful music. Back in reality, Lisa comes home and turns off the radio causing Corduroy and Rosetta to stop dancing]

Corduroy:
[finds out why Lisa turns off the music] Why has the music stopped?

Rosetta:
Lisa, you turned off the radio.

Lisa:
There's much better music to listen to.

Corduroy:
[points to the radio that played the song which he and Rosetta were dancing to and says to Lisa that he and Rosetta like that music] But I like that music!

Lisa:
No, this music is much better, Corduroy. Trust me. [turns on her other radio but makes jazzy music] Ew! [changes the radio channel but makes country music this time] Ew, yuck! [one radio channel has piano music] Uh-uh. [founds a radio channel that has dance music] There, that's more like it. [shakes her head]

Corduroy:
But why do we have to like only one kind of music?

Rosetta:
[about the same music Lisa likes] You mean: "Why do we have to likes only the same music Lisa likes?".

Lisa:
That's not true. [to Corduroy and Rosetta] Oh, go ahead. [gives Corduroy and Rosetta the radio] Listen to what you want.

[In Lisa and Corduroy's imagination --which is to the prehistoric world-- they both meet Stegosaurus again and this time he's perfect. As for the "age of dinosaurs" subject, the "age of dinosaurs" is really Lisa and Corduroy's imagination from the dinosaur book. So Lisa and Corduroy are really in her dinosaur book --from the library-- meaning that they are just pretending like they are so. The Stegosaurus is actually Lisa and Corduroy's model dinosaur in disguise and not a real dinosaur. The period of time they are in right now is the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. That is, since the Tyrannosaurus Rex is also encountered too.]

Corduroy:
Are you still wobbly?

Stegosaurus:
Nope! See? [shows his perfect parts]

Lisa:
Are you still cold?

Stegosaurus:
Not anymore. Feel my skin! So soft and warm! [Lisa and Corduroy feels Stegosaurus' skin and Stegosaurus begin to laugh] That tickles! [off-screen] Would you like to hear me roar?

Corduroy:
Sure! Go ahead!

[Stegosaurus roars loudly as a flock of pterosaurs fly away. The pterosaurs were a Pterodactylus. Indeed, the pterosaur Pterodactylus lived in the Jurassic period. But while it was a flying reptile and not a dinosaur, it did live in the same period of time as the Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, and Stegosaurus. Pterosaurs lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. The Brachiosaurus was seen in Lisa's dinosaur book. The Diplodocus was encountered by Lisa and Corduroy earlier.]

Stegosaurus:
[laughs] I can roar even louder If you like.

[Lisa and Corduroy look at each other]

Lisa:
That's okay.

Stegosaurus:
Maybe you like to go for a ride.

Corduroy:
A ride?

Lisa:
Sure!

Stegosaurus:
Just watch out for my back and tail. They're pointy.

[Lisa and Corduroy hop on Stegosaurus' back and Stegosaurus walks away with Lisa and Corduroy]

[Lisa went to her bedroom until she realizes Corduroy is having his own sleepover]

Lisa:
[thinks Corduroy, Buckaroo, and Rosetta are in her room --though they had gone out to Lisa's tent] On second thought, maybe Cordy did want to have his own sleepover. Then maybe I shouldn't bother him. [yawns]

[Lisa turns her back to the bedroom door and went to the living room until she finds Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo in her tent]

Lisa:
[off-screen; to Corduroy, Buckaroo, and Rosetta] What are you (three) doing here?

Corduroy:
[about why he, Buckaroo, and Rosetta could not sleep even though he wanted to have his own sleepover] We missed you!

Buckaroo:
[also about why he couldn't sleep] We couldn't get to sleep!

Rosetta:
[adds her reason about not being able to get to sleep] Je ne comprends pas! I do not understand!

[Rosetta notes that she tried singing Corduroy a lullaby to help him go to sleep but that didn't work.]

Rosetta:
Even my singing (on a lullaby) did not help!

Lisa:
[tells them that they may not be ready to have their sleepovers yet] Maybe you're not ready to sleep on your own yet.

Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo:
Mmm-hmm.

[Corduroy, Buckaroo, and Rosetta nod as they are now part of Lisa's sleepover. Later, the scene cuts to the living room --shown where Lisa and her toys Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo are in the tent. Lisa and her toys play with Lisa's make believe planetarium pretend to look at the stars and constellations. Lisa shows her toys the star constellations with her make-believe planetarium. This is shown on the black sheet that she had showed Moppy. They are having a short time playing or "short use" with the planetarium to see the stars before bedtime.]

Lisa:
[showing Rosetta a constellation] Do you see that group of stars, Rosetta? [off-screen] That's Cassiopeia. But I think she looks more like a mouse.

[Cassiopeia's nose twinkles. Rosetta --when she sees the mouse constellation-- reacts to it.]

Rosetta:
Did you hear that? I look just like a queen!

Lisa:
[showing Buckaroo a constellation] Do you see that group of stars over there, Buckaroo? That's Pegasus the Horse.

[Pegasus's right eye twinkles. Pegasus the horse does look like Buckaroo the rocking horse. Buckaroo --when he sees the Pegasus the Horse constellation-- mimics a real horse neighing.]

Buckaroo:
I like that one!

Corduroy:
Is there a bear anywhere?

Lisa:
[shows Corduroy two constellations] Actually, there are two bears. [off-screen] There's Ursa Minor --he's the little bear. And that one over there, that's Ursa Major --he's the big bear.

[Lisa shows out the final two constellations before everyone goes to bed.]

Corduroy:
[to Lisa about the bear constellations --Ursa Minor and Ursa Major] Someday, I'm going to be a big bear. Right, Lisa?

[After the last constellation, Lisa puts the flashlight down, turns off the flashlight and takes down the black sheet planetarium so everyone stops playing and are led to go to bed. Corduroy is now in bed has told himself he is going to be a big bear like Ursa Minor and Ursa Major]

Lisa:
[tucks Corduroy into bed] You're already a big bear, Cordy.

Corduroy:
Good night, Lisa.

Lisa:
Sleep tight, Cordy.

[Lisa, Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo are fallen fast asleep. Then the curtains closed the tent as the episode ends]

Corduroy:
[off-screen] Lisa?

Lisa:
Cordy, what happened?

Corduroy:
[about how he fell off Buckaroo and scraped his elbow yesterday] I hurt it yesterday when I fell off Buckaroo. I was riding him to fast.

[Lisa --unaware of the fact that her toothache is still there-- becomes concerned about Corduroy's injury when he --Corduroy-- rocked on Buckaroo the rocking horse too fast and fell off of him.]

Lisa:
You should have told me right away.

[Lisa picks up Corduroy.]

Lisa:
Come on, I'll fix it up for you.

[In the bathroom, Lisa --despite still feeling her toothache-- puts the bandage on Corduroy's scraped and cut elbow.]

Lisa:
There. How does it feel?

Corduroy:
[feels the bandage on his cut after he fell off Buckaroo] Much better.

[Corduroy, he hugs Lisa.]

Lisa:
[feels the toothache] Ow!

Corduroy:
Sorry, I must have squeezed too hard.

Lisa:
[to Corduroy while feeling her tooth] It's not your fault. It's my tooth.

Corduroy:
Didn't get better on its own?

Lisa:
[about her toothache] I was hoping it would but it's getting worse! It hurts when I eat something hot, it hurts when I eat something cold, it hurts when I laugh, and it hurts when I sleep!

[Lisa walks around as she talks about her toothache. Then she goes over to Corduroy, despite his injury being healed after falling off Buckaroo.]

Lisa:
[turns to Corduroy about it] But now it even hurts when you hug me!

Corduroy:
What are you going to do?

Lisa:
[sadly --and to answer Corduroy's question] Something that I should have done a long time ago!

[Later, the scene cuts to where Lisa and Corduroy are in the living room with Lisa's mom. Lisa is going tell her mom the truth about her toothache.]

Lisa's Mom:
[to Lisa when she had not admitted the truth yet about her toothache and not yet had told her about it in the first place] Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Lisa:
I would have but I was afraid of the giant needle.

Lisa Mom:
The giant needle?

Lisa:
It's this long!

Lisa's Mom:
Mm, and where did you hear about this?

Lisa:
Moppy.

Lisa's Mom:
I'm pretty sure Moppy's exaggerating.

Lisa:
Why would he do that?

Lisa's Mom:
I know he didn't mean any harm. Sometimes when you worried about something your mind exaggerates things like the size of a needle.

Lisa:
You mean it's not this big?

Lisa's Mom:
More like this small. The needle is just meant to keep you from being uncomfortable. You can hardly feel it.

Lisa:
And I'm not going to get my teeth pulled out either?

Lisa's Mom:
Your teeth pulled out? Goodness, no. Whoever told you?

[Lisa's mom thinks that Lisa have heard that from Moppy.]

Lisa's Mom:
Let me guess.

[Lisa and her mom started to laugh.]

Lisa and Lisa's Mom:
Moppy.

[They continue to laugh. But Lisa's tooth hurts when she laughs.]

Lisa:
Ow!

[At the art gallery --Lisa's mom's art gallery-- with Lisa, Corduroy, and Rosetta, Corduroy is playing with the art as he jumps up and down when he's trying to climb on the statue until Lisa picks him up. At this, Corduroy thinks that he and Rosetta can doing anything they want in the art gallery just because no one else is in it nor using it. So when Corduroy asks Lisa to "help him climb the statue", Lisa picks him up thinking she might do so]

Corduroy:
[laughing; trying to get Lisa to help him climb on the statue as he jokingly wants to climb it] Help me up, please...!

Lisa:
[knows the truth about the "HANDS OFF" signs --meaning "look but don't touch"] Sorry, Cordy. No can do.

[Lisa calls to Rosetta who is also playing on the art. Rosetta is swinging on the red ropes.]

Lisa:
[turns to Rosetta] Come on down (from the red ropes), Rosetta.

Rosetta:
[believing the art gallery is closed for today] But the art gallery is closed today. No?

[Rosetta also thinks that she and Corduroy can do anything they want in the art gallery.]

Rosetta:
That means we have the whole place to ourselves!

Lisa:
(Not quite.) It's great that Mom is letting us wander around while she's working.

[Lisa continues to Corduroy and Rosetta about the art gallery and its rules. She says it is for everyone and talks to them about the ropes in the gallery.]

Lisa:
[to Rosetta about the ropes] But those ropes aren't for playing. [then to Corduroy about the art sculptures] And neither is this art.

Corduroy:
I'm not supposed to play here?

Lisa:
Uh-uh. These red ropes are for keeping people from getting too close to the art. It means look but don't touch.

[In Lisa and Corduroy's imagination, they're at the beach and they both finished the sandcastle]

Lisa:
A castle fit for a king.

Corduroy:
Someday I want to be a king.

Lisa:
Well, King Corduroy, do you want to go beachcombing?

Corduroy:
Beachcombing? (What's beachcombing?)

Lisa:
We'll look for seashells and other neat stuff (along the way).

Corduroy:
You mean like a treasure hunt?

Lisa:
[off-screen] Sort of. [on-screen] Come on.

[Corduroy follows Lisa. Lisa and Corduroy's footprints are shown on the sand as Lisa and Corduroy went to collect seashells. as Corduroy puts shells into the bucket, he sees a conch shell laying on the beach]

Corduroy:
[to Lisa when he finds a conch shell] Look!

[The camera zooms in to a conch shell. Corduroy runs through the beach and picks the conch shell with his paws]

Lisa:
Wow, that's a real big one. Try blowing it.

[Corduroy blows on the conch shell making a "very" long note]

Corduroy:
Whoa! What more could a bear ask for?

Lisa:
[sees another shell in the distance] Look how pretty that shell is.

[Another shell lays on the sandy beach. Corduroy touches the shell and it started to move]

Corduroy:
[laughs as he fell backwards] Hey! [laughing] This one moves.

[A hermit crab (who is inside the shell) continues to crawl through the sandy beach until Lisa picks him up and she looks inside his shell]

Lisa:
It's a hermit crab.

[The hermit crab comes out of his shell with a grumpy expression]

Lisa:
See? He's hiding.

Corduroy:
He doesn't look very happy (today).

Lisa:
I think he looks kind of crabby.

[Lisa and Corduroy begin to laugh with joy. Then Lisa put the hermit crab on the sandy beach and the hermit crab crawls away from Lisa and Corduroy so he can join in the other crabs]

Corduroy:
[off-screen] Whoa, it's a whole bunch of crabbies!

[Lisa and Corduroy started laughing again as the hermit crab went into the ocean. Suddenly, a baby sea turtle pops out of the sand after it hatched out from an egg]

Lisa:
[off-screen] Look, Corduroy. It's a baby (sea) turtle.

[The baby sea turtle crawls to the ocean]

Corduroy:
[off-screen] Where's it going?

Lisa:
Into the ocean. That's where it's going to grow up.

Corduroy:
[to Lisa as he watches the baby sea turtle goes into the ocean] Someday, I want to look inside the ocean and find out what else lives there.

Lisa:
I'd like that, too. Feel that ocean breeze?

[Lisa and Corduroy sigh together]

Corduroy:
It's so nice and cool.

[Lisa sits down on the stair case while looking at the pictures that she took today]

Lisa:
[giggling] Wow, these are great!

Moppy's Mom:
[arrives at the building carrying groceries] Hi, Lisa! How are your photos turning out?

Lisa:
Even better than I thought! [shows Moppy's Mom the photos]

[Lisa gives Moppy's Mom the pictures and she finds one that Lisa snapped on her when her apron is covered in chocolate icing after she and Moppy's Dad made the cake. She finds another picture when she and Moppy's Dad are covered in the cake which they accidentally had ruined]

Moppy's Mom:
[about the smashed and ruined cake in the picture] Oh, (on Moppy's Dad and I), that cake (which we baked) could have tasted much better on a plate, instead of on our clothes.

Lisa:
What do you think?

Moppy's Mom:
Well, Moppy's Dad and I, we look pretty silly, don't you think?

Lisa:
[giggling] Funny, isn't it?

Moppy's Mom:
Well...

[Pandro opens the door and walks down the stairs]

Lisa:
[to Pandro] Pandro, I got a great picture of you here, too!

Moppy's Mom:
I'd better get these groceries inside. Bye, Lisa. Bye, Pandro. [went inside]

[Lisa gives Pandro a picture. Pandro gasps when he sees one that Lisa snapped on him when he hides from the mouse]

Lisa:
[showing Pandro the mouse] Look, there's the mouse you were hiding from!

Pandro:
[finds the mouse on the picture] Oh, yes, there it is. Right in the picture.

[The scene cuts to where Lisa holds a picture of Moppy doing a dance move who is completely chaotic]

Lisa:
[off-screen] Check it out, Moppy!

Moppy:
[practicing his dance move while kicking a ball] I'm busy, Lise.

Lisa:
[giggling] Come on, it's pretty funny.

Moppy:
No thanks, I don't need to look at pictures of me looking silly.

Lisa:
[as her frown becomes upside down] Okay, fine!

[Lisa gets home from taking pictures. She has taken pictures on her mother, Moppy's parents, Pandro, and Moppy again. That is, even though they were doing something which was private. Indeed, Lisa was snooping through their privacy. The scene then cuts to her mother while reading her book in the kitchen at the kitchen table is looking rather embarrassed. Because what Lisa did was snapping photos on everyone in the building without their permission including her mother too when she privately had curlers and face cream on in the morning]

Lisa:
[to her mother] You want to see the pictures that I took today?

[Lisa's Mom is not happy about Lisa's "snapping pictures" behavior in the building.]

Lisa's Mom:
[to Lisa] I'm hearing that you've snapped all sorts of photos around here. I am very curious to see how they turned out.

[As Lisa's Mom is looking through the pictures that Lisa took around the building.]

Lisa:
I know you may like my pictures, Mom. [about Moppy] Moppy, he does not think it is right to sneak up on people to take surprise pictures.

[Lisa's Mom looks through the pictures. After going through them, she then finds the picture that Lisa snapped on her earlier in the morning when she had curlers and face cream on. The picture reveals to showing Lisa's Mom in an embarrassed look to after Lisa took a picture of her; and right after Lisa invaded her privacy. The picture that her mother reveals is a picture of her with curlers and face cream on and an awkward face when Lisa took her picture.]

Lisa's Mom:
[looks at the picture] Oh...!

[Lisa's Mom looks at the picture --after she found the one picture that Lisa snapped on her-- then turns back to Lisa.]

Lisa's Mom:
I can see why. You took these pictures without getting people's permission first.

Lisa:
Mm-hmm.

Lisa's Mom:
That is an invasion of their privacy.

Lisa:
You mean, you do not like them either?

Lisa's Mom:
No, Lisa. I don't. They may be good photographs. But they aren't very nice ones.

Lisa:
Well, I think everyone in the building is a little too touchy around here. I am going to go put my pictures into an album.

[Lisa runs off with the pile of pictures and into her room. Lisa's mom sits at the dining room table and takes out the photo of herself with face cream on --and an awkward expression-- then looks at it.]

Moppy:
You don't want it anyway. All you talk about is pizza!

Lisa:
[giggles and calls Moppy a nickname "Sloppy Toppy"] Sloppy Toppy!

Moppy:
[calls Lisa a nickname back --in sense that Lisa is thinking about having pizza for lunch] Lisa Pizza!

[Lisa then stops laughing and lets out a gasp after what Moppy just called her. Moppy had called Lisa a nickname; "Lisa Pizza"]

Lisa:
[wants to know what Moppy called her] (Wait...?!) What did you call me?!

Moppy:
[still thinking it's funny, he repeats the nickname and says it four times at this] Lisa Pizza, Lisa Pizza, Lisa Pizza!

[At first Lisa becomes awkward about the nickname --which was "Lisa Pizza"-- spoken by Moppy. But then looks rather upset right after Moppy calls her "Lisa Pizza". Meanwhile, the scene cuts to Lisa's room where Corduroy is trying to pull Buckaroo with a rope because Buckaroo's rockers can't move]

Corduroy:
[after trying his best to make Buckaroo move again] Not again!

Buckaroo:
Mmm. [sees his rockers who are still stuck] I can't help it if my rockers are stuck.

Corduroy:
I guess. But that's because you're, [calls Buckaroo --for a fourth time-- a nickname "Stuckaroo"] Stuckaroo! [laughing]

Buckaroo:
That's, Buckaroo. (Not Stuckaroo.)

Corduroy:
[repeats the nickname for a fifth time] Buckaroo the Stuckaroo, his legs and feet are made of glue!

[Corduroy has said "Stuckaroo" two more times at this. In total, he has said this name on Buckaroo five times]

Buckaroo:
Well, you're, you're...! [calls Corduroy a nickname back; in sense that Corduroy is pretending that he has a cast on his head from the pretend game "doctor" which he was playing with Lisa and Moppy on] You're a Boo-Boo Head!

[Corduroy then stops laughing and lets out a gasp after what Buckaroo just called him. Buckaroo --after seeing Corduroy's pretend cast-- said that Corduroy was a "Boo-Boo Head". Meanwhile, the scene cuts back to Moppy's place where Lisa is still rather upset when Moppy called her "Lisa Pizza". Lisa knows what she just heard from Moppy when he said that nickname.]

Moppy:
[to Lisa; as he whips out an imaginary camera and forces her to smile at the "camera"] Hey, Lisa Pizza...! Smile for the camera! Say cheese! Get it? Pizza?! Cheese?!

[Lisa pushes the kitchen table chair and stands up because she's going home]

Lisa:
It's not that funny. I'm going!

Moppy:
But what about your sandwich? Aren't you gonna eat it?

Lisa:
I'd rather go home than be called "Lisa Pizza"!

Moppy:
[gasping] Well I'd rather go home than be called "Sloppy Toppy"!

Lisa:
(What are you talking about?) You are home!

Moppy:
Oh, yeah, well...! [off-screen] Well, I still don't like being called "Sloppy Toppy"! Wherever I am!

Lisa:
Fine!

Moppy:
Fine!

[Lisa opens the door as she exits Moppy's place. Then she angrily shuts the door.]

Corduroy:
[after his friends can't play with him today] Why don't they want to play with me (today)? [pause] I must be sad. I don't like being sad.

[In Corduroy's flashback, he was sitting on a toy shelf in the toy store surrounding by toys who were also on the shelf with him. This part is loosely from the Don Freeman book; Corduroy from the Corduroy book series]

Corduroy:
[voice over] I used to sad when I lived in the toy store (back then). I waited everyday (and everynight) for somebody to take me home. Then, one day---

Lisa:
[off-screen] Mom, look! [on-screen] That's the very bear I've always wanted.

Lisa's Mom:
Not today, dear. I've spend too much already. [about Corduroy who doesn't look like new because he's missing a button from one of the shoulder straps] Besides he doesn't look new. [off-screen] He's lost the button to one of his shoulder straps.

Lisa:
[gets Corduroy out of the toy shelf] But he's got sparkly eyes [off-screen] and a real nice smile. [on-screen] He's perfect. [to her mother] I've saved up my own money. Can't I buy him, please?

[In Lisa's room, Lisa opens her bedroom door and welcomes Corduroy to his new home]

Lisa:
[welcoming Corduroy to her bedroom from her place in the apartment] Welcome to your new home, Corduroy.

[Corduroy was surprised when he sees Lisa's room for the very first time]

Corduroy:
[off-screen] Wow! [on-screen; turns to Lisa and hugs her] You must be a friend, I've always wanted a friend.

Lisa:
[happily; to Corduroy] Me too!

[Back in the present day, Corduroy started to sniff sadly as he begins sobbing]

Corduroy:
[becomes heartbroken as tears rolls down his cheeks] Maybe nobody wants to be friends with me anymore. [closes the linen closet door]

[In Lisa's room, Lisa is reading the last lines and pages of the story "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" --a story from her library book.]

Lisa:
[reading] And Baby Bear said, "Somebody's been sleeping in my bed! And she still is!". Goldilocks, woke up at once. And she saw three bears all staring down at her. "AAAAH!", screamed Goldilocks. She jumped out of Baby Bear's bed and ran out the door. And she never was seen again. Papa Bear and Mama Bear spooned some of the leftover porridge (from the porridge pot). And they put it into Baby Bear's empty bowl (after Goldilocks ate up all his porridge). Then the happy bears (who never saw Goldilocks again), they all sat down to breakfast. At last, everything was just right. (As for Goldilocks, from that day on, she never touched anything that didn't belong to her.)

Corduroy:
The end.

[Lisa and Corduroy have finished their story. Indeed, according to the story --and at the end-- after Goldilocks left the bears's house, she --from then on-- never touched things that didn't belong to her again. She stopped being stubborn, traded in her tricks, and did exactly what her parents told her. As for the three bears, they put a lock on their door. And they never knew what a favor they had done for Goldilocks. In fact, they --the bears-- never saw her again. After they finish reading it, Lisa closes the book at looks at her cookies. She finds her cookies almost all gone. It's just one half eaten chocolate chip cookie on the cookie plate. This is like the part from the said story --the part where Goldilocks ate up Baby Bear's porridge. As a result, Lisa and Corduroy are in a short act out from the said story in Lisa's room before going to bed. Corduroy --had all along-- eaten Lisa's cookies. That is, just like how Goldilocks from the story ate up Baby Bear's porridge.]

Lisa:
[recites a line from her story as she pretends to be like Baby Bear] Hey! Somebody has been tasting my cookies! (And it's all gone!)

Corduroy:
Uh-oh...!

[Corduroy cleans and dusts off the cookie crumbs away by using his paw after tasting Lisa's cookies and eating almost all of them like in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".]

Corduroy:
I wonder who did that!

Lisa:
[pretends to be like Baby Bear] Somebody has been drinking my milk! And there is hardly any left!

Corduroy:
[giggling; has pretended to be Goldilocks when he ate up Lisa's cookies and drank up her milk] Just like in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".

Lisa:
[makes her own version of the said story; calling it "Lisa Locks and the Cordy Bear"] It should be "Lisa-Locks and the Cordy Bear".

[As a result, Lisa has replaced the word "Goldilocks" and "Three Bears" in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" with "Lisa Locks" and "Cordy Bear" respectively and repronounces and renames the title "Lisa Locks and the Cordy Bear"]
